Here are the highlights of my family history and genealogy related activities over the past week.
1) Attended the Genealogical Society of Santa Cruz County (GSSCC) program meeting on Tuesday on Zoom, with Gail Burk presenting "Adventures in Collaboration: Exploring Ostfriesland."
2) Wrote, edited and distributed the Chula Vista Genealogical Society (CVGS) monthly "Family History Gazette" newsletter on Sunday.
3) Participated in Mondays With Myrt on Monday (3 June) on Streamyard. We discussed Myrt's interview with Nathan Dylan Goodwin, AI use for BCG and ICAPGen, using GEDOM for WikiTree, and Dana Leesds' new YouTube channel.
4) Transcribed the 1823 Deed of Thomas Partridge to Daniel Henry in Ashtabula County, Ohio for the Amanuensis Monday theme.
9) AncestryDNA now has 46,055 DNA matches (up 64 from 2 June) with 1957 "close" matches for me today, with one new ThruLines. I added Notes to 1 new Matches, and no new Match lines to RootsMagic. MyHeritageDNA now has 12,576 DNA matches (up 9 from 2 June) for me. Reviewed the new DNA matches on AncestryDNA, MyHeritageDNA, FamilyTreeDNA and 23andMe.
11) Used Web Hints and Record Matches from Ancestry, MyHeritage, Findmypast and FamilySearch to add content and source citations to my RootsMagic profiles. I now have 73,123 persons in my RootsMagic family tree (up 2), and 146,887 source citations (up 7). TreeShared no new and updated profiles with my Ancestry tree. Resolved 204 Ancestry Hints. My Ancestry Member Tree has Ancestry Record Hints with 20,685 to be resolved, but I work on them several times a week.
